How cool is this?! A whole mall dedicated to restoring and recycling! I would soooo shop here. Man, those Europeans sure know what they’re doing when it comes to sustainable practices. What are your thoughts? Would you shop at this mall?

It pains me to write this post. So, the CBC covered a story on the desperate plea of Zara’s garment workers in Turkey. This should really come as no surprise to people, but it will.

Hellooooo my friends! It’s been awhile I know …I haven’t blogged in quite some time but that is all about to change and I have lots of things I want to write about. I have been working hard to bring our collection to you right in the comfort of your own homes! I am sooooo thrilled to announce the launch of our online store 🙂 Please check it out at www.truvogue.com when you get a moment. We ship throughout North America and if anyone would like to purchase any items internationally please email info@truvogue.com and we will work something out. Also, if you subscribe you will receive 10% off your first purchase!

This first collection is called ‘Essentials’ because it focuses on buildable staple pieces that every wardrobe needs. The fabric is super comfortable and breathable made out of the softest, eco-friendly modal fabric that feels like butter against the skin. All the pieces from this collection were made ethically right here in Toronto, Canada!! So shop local, shop ethical and care for the planet at the same time 🙂
